About 0CTS0ZZ

0CTS0ZZ is the ICD-10-PCS code for a resection procedure on the larynx using an open approach. In ICD-10-PCS, resection means cutting out or off, without replacement, all of a body part.

In plain terms, this corresponds to complete laryngectomy, the ICD-9-CM procedure title it maps to (30.3).

For a different body part, codes include 0CT00ZZ (upper lip), 0CT10ZZ (lower lip), 0CT20ZZ (hard palate), 0CT30ZZ (soft palate), 0CT70ZZ (tongue), 0CT80ZZ (right parotid gland) and 15 more.

The same procedure with a different approach is coded 0CTS4ZZ (percutaneous endoscopic), 0CTS7ZZ (via natural or artificial opening) and 0CTS8ZZ (via natural or artificial opening endoscopic).

It is an operating-room procedure in the MS-DRG logic for DRG 011 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with MCC), DRG 012 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy with CC) and DRG 013 (Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy without CC/MCC), under the surgical category “Tracheostomy for Face, Mouth and Neck Diagnoses or Laryngectomy”.

It has been valid since ICD-10-PCS took effect on October 1, 2015.
